Interview with Business Insider: 10 people living on the road shared their advice before I set off on a 13-day van trip. Their tips led to an unforgettable adventure

Asked whether she felt, because of her large social media presence, she had a responsibility to educate people on the nuances of life in a van, Ms. Schaffer said it was important for her to find “a balance between educating and sharing in a positive way, and hopefully encouraging people to also want to protect these places.”

“As opposed to policing” or gatekeeping the lifestyle, she said, “I’d rather inspire people.”

More and more people are turning to life on wheels to beat the cost of living - here's how YouTuber Christian Schaffer does it. Many Americans feel the overbearing weight of living costs, rent, and utilities and are turning to life on the road as an alternative.

We first discovered Christian’s work on Instagram, and immediately fell in love with her exquisite way of capturing the magic of the outdoors. Our newest launch—the S.O.S. Rescue Mask— was born from a winter weekend in the mountains, and we are honored to feature one of Christian’s moving mountain landscapes on the outer box.

I was honored to collaborate with India on her December 2021 single release: Let It Snow. I first discovered India through her work with Ben Howard years ago, and she has been an inspiration ever since. It’s a dream of mine to continue working with musicians to create album covers and hopefully one day - music videos. Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Travel blogger and photographer Christian Schaffer took a low-key approach to her time in Reno Tahoe, and we think you’ll be inspired to follow in her footsteps.

Living and traveling on the road full-time with no permanent address is a dream that many photographers aspire to.

Armchair travel is definitely having a moment. Although, like ev­eryone else, Instagram adventur­ers are staying home now, their Instagram feeds offer gorgeous, calming scenes and inspiration for a well­-trav­eled future. Schaffer’s “non­stop ar­ray of pink sunsets, oceans, and mountains makes you feel like you’re flying through a dream.”

Photographers and adventure travelers Christian Schaffer and Nathaniel Wise captured the mountains, desert and city scenery, all set against an ever-changing but always amazing backdrop of Northern Nevada’s sunshine and expansive skies.

So incredibly honored to have my work included in this beautiful new book, 'Press PAUSE' by Axel & Ash

Press PAUSE is a space to take time out each week and reflect on where you are. A call for you to take 20 min a week to curl up in your fave spot and re-calibrate; to just think, feel, remember, explore, appreciate and celebrate life. Filled with fun questions, thought-provoking prompts, inspiring stories with Beau Taplin, Elise Cook & more, and 52 weekly journaling pages, it’s a place to explore ideas & desires, celebrate the highs, reflect on the lows; jot down your thoughts, feelings & experiences to keep forever.

“Adventure photographer” doesn’t quite describe Christian Schaffer. After just a few seconds staring at her work you know that in Schaffer’s world, landscapes look more like dreamscapes, and what most call outdoor escapes, she calls life.

Seven days. It had been seven days since day one. I was on the 5th floor of the Hodelpa Gran Almirante, sipping a glass of champagne in the VIP lounge. I looked woefully out of place, my dirty shoes still wet from river rafting the day before. I couldn’t help but smile…this was my life lately
